The big news today out of BlizzCon is that StarCraft II is being divided into
Terrans: Wings of Liberty, Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, and Protoss:
Legacy of the Void, three separate standalone campaigns that will be sold
separately, each highlighting one of the game's races, with the decision to
subdivide the real-time strategy sequel said to be the alternative to either
delaying or scaling back the release.
Shacknews quotes
Blizzard's Rob Pardo saying the second and third games "will be like expansion
packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products." Word is the
Zerg campaign will emphasize RPG elements, the Protoss campaign will focus on
diplomacy, and the Terran campaign will also feature a Protoss mini-campaign.
Shacknews also offers
a couple of cut-scenes, one fully rendered, and the other using the game engine.

This is a joke. When all is said and done, you'll have like 4 Starcraft 2 CDs including the expansion which will definitely come out. Unless of course they break the expansion up also into 3. Then you'll have 6 cds! Yay! Talk about whoring it up big time. As a Blizzard fan, I'm hugely let down by this. This has to be the worst decision I've ever seen them make and especially with a game with such a huge scope. I mean obviously they want to milk this being that Korea will buy anything they make and knowing the big anticipation for this, but cmon, this is not really giving back to the fans...

What the fuck are you talking about? The two extra games *ARE* the expansions. They're not releasing expansions for the expansions

Basically an infinite budget and you can't finish the game?

Quality takes time. Money only goes so far.

Whole lot of sandy vaginas in this thread with people spending more time typing their rage than actually reading. Here are the facts:

-Each Starcraft II game will be at least as large as the original Starcraft-Each campaign will contain 36 missions, and won't be linear like the other games.-Nothing about price has been announced.

Just another day on Blues, just another bunch of angsty, jaded gamers who can never give any developer the benefit of the doubt in a controversial situation.
